HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- The Hillsborough Gallery of Arts presents "Unfurling," new work by photographer Kent Corley, painter Kaidy Lewis and wood turner Rohit Warrier. The show opens on March 24 and runs through April 19 with an opening reception on March 27 from 6-9pm.
The show's title, "Unfurling," resonates for each artist.
Painter Kaidy Lewis feels that her art career has 'unfurled.' If you had asked her when she was seven what she would be doing as an adult, her career would make sense to that child. Says Lewis, "For me, unfurling is about faith. The kind of faith that knows the fern leaf will unfurl as designed, at the right moment. So whilst waiting for events to unfurl, this series of paintings looks at my favorite things - nature's fractals." Those are the repeating geometric patterns found in such things as pinecones, seashells and ferns. "My smaller pieces in the show are from teaching and demonstrating at The Forest at Duke where I am Artist in Residence."

For wood turner Rohit Warrier, "Unfurling" is a story of personal and artistic growth after 12 years of practicing this art form. "In this my first HGA featured show, I highlight pieces that have pushed my skills beyond traditional functional wood turning into a deliberate unfurling of visual elements like shape, texture, color and scale."
The show will highlight a massive 42" lathe-turned oak tabletop, and naturally warped once-turned green-wood vases, functional inlaid bowls, textured boxes, platters with hand carved handles, hand carved greenwood kuksas, and decorated cooking and eating spoons.
According to contemporary photographer Kent Corley, "as an art, photography wrestles with a central tension: it begins with what already exists." Unlike painting or sculpture which can freely invent worlds through style or imagination, photography must start with the visible world. That world offers endless possibilities, but what is chosen, and how it is framed, is shaped by personal history, culture, and experience. Every photograph reflects not just what is seen, but how it is seen. "In light of current affairs I felt this was a good time to re-visit photography from recent travels. These images represent impressions from Czechia, England and France, hopefully making their own statements on youth, art, aesthetics, mortality and memory. I aim to leave much interpretation open to the viewer."
